Question

Yana is using an indirect method to prove that segment DE is not parallel to segment BC in the triangle ABC shown below:
-I will post pic under the question-

She starts with the assumption that segment DE is parallel to segment BC.

Which inequality will she use to contradict the assumption?
A) 4:9 ≠ 6:13
B) 4:9 ≠ 6:7
C) 4:13 ≠ 6:9
D) 4:5 ≠ 6:13

Answer 1

4:9 ≠ 6:13

Answer 2

thxs could you explain tome how you got that answer

Answer 3

@smd_kma so can you explain it?

Answer 4

Yeah give me a few cuddy

Answer 5

if DE is parallel to BC
then triangles ABC and ADE are similar and corresponding sides will be in same ratio

Answer 6

oh ok thxs
